Discover the story of the song > The State Is Bad – U.S. Maple

The lyrics are about someone reflecting on a bad time they had in a certain place, where the girls all had husbands and the men were like their fathers. They tried their best but it didn't work out, so they're saying that the state they were in was bad. And if they ever go back there, they're foolish. So basically, the person is talking about a place where things didn't go well for them in terms of relationships and they don't want to go back there.
